David Adeleye and Jeamie Tshikeva are getting ready to fight for the British heavyweight title. The match will happen on Saturday, April 5, 2025, in Manchester. It's part of a bigger event where Joe Joyce will face Filip Hrgovic.
This fight gives both boxers a shot at the British heavyweight crown. For Adeleye, it's his second try. He couldn't win it the first time in 2023 when he fought Fabio Wardley. Tshikeva, also known as "TKV," is going for the title for the first time.
The title is up for grabs because Wardley gave it up. He's now looking at a possible fight with Kubrat Pulev for the WBA 'Regular' title. Ring Magazine says this might happen in the summer, but it's not certain yet.
Adeleye, nicknamed "Big D," has a record of 13 wins and 1 loss, with 12 knockouts. He last fought Solomon Dacres and won the English title with a first-round knockout. Tshikeva's record stands at 8 wins and 1 loss, with 5 knockouts. In early February, he beat Michael Webster with a TKO in the ninth round.
Both fighters have met before in the gym and are coming off big wins. They've shown they're strong, setting up what should be an exciting match.
The fight will take place at Co-op Live in Manchester. The event starts at 7:00 PM BST (2:00 PM ET, 11:00 AM PT). Adeleye and Tshikeva are expected to enter the ring around 9:00 PM BST (4:00 PM ET, 1:00 PM PT).
